Inspection Station Audit via Remote Sensing

Data collected on-road by RSDs can highlight discrepancies in emissions testing results from decentralized station inspections as compared to RSD on-road inspection results. In this way, RSD can serve as a quality audit for decentralized vehicle inspection programs.

Opus Inspection performs turnkey data analysis and data management, delivering detailed performance reports for the entire vehicle emissions inspection program, and separately for each station participating in the emissions inspection program. Our inspection station audit report data can direct an agency to undertake compliance action by highlighting the testing stations where potentially fraudulent or faulty emissions tests are being performed.

Opus Inspection has considerable experience performing such inspection station auditing. The remote sensing audits of inspection stations has greatly improved the efficiency and effectiveness of enforcement activity.
